This site is dedicated to the preservation of memory of silent films. Although they were quite important in the evolution of cinema, they remain virtually forgotten nowadays. Since the best way to understand the present is taking an attentive look at the past, here you have some movies, pictures, interviews, etc. on silent cinema. Some occasional material on sound films will also be presented. I hope you enjoy getting to know a bit more about the beauty and sheer fun of these golden oldies.

The gang wages war using old
vegetables as munitions. Later, they ruin a movie in progress when they
double-expose the film.

Two groups of children are
staging a mock trench battle in a tomato patch. When the battle ends, one
girl's mother comes to take her to her job at the nearby motion picture studio.
The other children decide that it might be fun to work there, too, and they
sneak into the unsuspecting studio.
